OPERA LOVERS TAKE NOTE The “PERFORMANCE-LINKED” Kindle e-book has been invented! Hear and see performances of opera stars you have only heard of, but never actually heard. Listen to excerpts or the entire operas they sang. You can put this book on your Iphone or Android as well as a Kindle or your laptop to hear and see them sing as you read about them! You say you’ve never heard of Selma Kurz? She was better known than Nellie Melba--in Vienna, certainly! Worldwide? Not so much. From Meyerbeer to Mozart, you can listen to Selma Kurz perform more than twenty-five different operatic selections. Over 700 Internet links and 200 hours of performances by famous and not-so-famous artists that author Limansky evaluates—their biographies, history, performances, and voices are described in technical detail. You can even get a Performance-Linked PRINT EDITION of "Early Twentieth Century Opera Singers." You say you can't click a link on a printed page? That's true, but we've devised the way to do that. Included in the price of the print edition you will get a PDF of the links, arranged in the order in which they appear in the book. You mount that PDF on your phone or laptop and click away as you read--just like the e-book. Buy it so you can see it and hear it as you read about it--Performance-Linked print and e-books by YBK Publishers. https://bit.ly/3vzws4X

"SAID ON OPERA is a compelling read for opera enthusiasts, scholars, and students alike. It stands as a testament to Said's erudition and his ability to traverse disciplinary boundaries, offering a richly textured, nuanced appreciation of opera. Through Said's interpretive lens, the book not only enriches our understanding of the operas discussed but also invites readers to consider the broader societal, political, and cultural implications of the art form, thus reaffirming the enduring power and relevance of opera in contemporary discourse." —Athena, Marginal Space https://buff.ly/3vbbY2v #BookReview

Earlier this month Arts Council England put out a 115-page document (Ross from Friends - "front and back"!) analysing the state of opera in the UK's biggest nation. The headline-grabbing part of it is the section where the authors express criticism about how many of the most performed works between 2017 and 2023 are by Puccini, Verdi, Mozart or Bizet, i.e. older works from the classic canon. That means, they say ominously, that opera “may find it harder to make an argument for its continued evolution as a cultural practice”. In The Times I argue that not only the methodology is flawed here, but so is the agenda. No operagoers - the general public - were actually consulted for this report. And while it's convenient to blame an ageing or conservative audience for the reliance on core parts of the repertoire, it isn’t borne out by the evidence. Go on to TikTok (before they ban it), search for “opera” and it’s La traviata, Carmen and The Magic Flute that soundtrack the most-watched operatic memes. A clip from the Royal Opera House of The Magic Flute has more than two million likes. Accessibility is supposed to be a watchword of the Arts Council, so what’s wrong with regularly offering audiences the most accessible works? #opera #artsandculture #letscreate https://lnkd.in/dM9FqUAk
Don’t blame Puccini for opera’s problems — he’s wowing audiences on TikTok
